Usually a Walgreens, CVS, or such "local pharmacy" type stores, that have a photo development department will take passport photos for a fee....usually $8-10 for 2 photos. You may try Target or Wal-Mart, also in their Photo Dept.

Walgreens for the I-129F ones, then we got smart and took our own at home. Hubby cropped them down to the appropriate 2" x 2" size, put 6 on 4" x 6" size document and we printed them at Walgreens for a whole 40 cents! We have some left over, but it was way cheaper than paying for two sets of passport photos there.

Just make sure you follow their latest guidelines if you decide to do this at home.

I wouldn't say the money was wasted. They would have rejected your AOS application without the photos after all.
